    from the ENVT 350 collected in February 2020 and the Department of Ecology State of Washington from 2008-2012, we compared the health of Clover Creek Reserve, the restorated site and 133rd, the non- restorative site. This data shows that the restoration improvements are beneficial in keeping a healthy ecosystem and stream. Overall, Clover Creek Reserve is a lot healthier than the 133rd St. location. A lot of this is due to the restoration efforts put into Clover Creek Reserve. Restoration is

    compassion towards the global circumstance that would one day become manifest in the body of his work. In Katmandu, Youtz and Unsoeld landed a gig housesitting for John Seidensticker who was, at the time, conducting post-doctoral research on tigers and jaguars in the Tibetan backcountry. Seidensticker, who is now the head of the Conservation Ecology Center at the Smithsonian’s National Zoological Park, subsequently introduced the pair to another survey tracking nearby rhino populations. Assisting in both
